Get Growing also mentioned Project Dirt, a website that looks like a clearinghouse of information of things happening that ought to give me somewhere food and garden related to drag my beloved family and friends to, and Capital Growth, an organization focused on creating more than 2,000 growing spaces for London by the end of 2012. (They are the same group mentioned in an article about bees in last week's Sunday Reading.) And last but not least in the recommendations from Get Growing was OrganicLea, a growing (literally and figuratively) worker's cooperative in the Lea Valley just outside London, that also looks and sounds amazing.

And finally, before I overwhelm folks with more reading and sites to visit, I'll end with this video via the Practicing Writer of Robert Caro discussing a sense of place. Place for me is a grounding force in my writing, thinking, and living, so it resonated with me on a number of levels. It is long, so perhaps plan to be undisturbed for a moment or two to watch.
